Compliance challenges for the oil and gas industry

Compliance officer challenge

As a compliance professional in the oil and gas industry, you are tasked with ensuring your company complies with a complex web of regulations, standards, and guidelines. These regulations span a wide range of jurisdictions - local, national, and international - and encompass a broad spectrum of risk types.

Oil and gas companies face unique compliance challenges, including environmental risks, stringent health and safety standards, and complex upstream and downstream  logistical operations. Doing business in this industry often requires interactions with government officials, either directly or through intermediaries, which increases the risk of anti-bribery and corruption violations. Additionally, compliance responsibilities extend beyond the company's immediate operations and into third-party risk management and compliance.

Key areas of compliance in oil and gas companies

Oil and gas enterprises are complex organizations. There’s many areas of ethics and compliance that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental Compliance, to ABAC Compliance to Health and Safety. These include:

  • Environmental Compliance: Adhering to regulations aimed at minimizing the ecological footprint of upstream and downstream oil and gas activities.
  • ABAC Compliance: Ensuring that anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws and standards are upheld.
  • Supply Chain Due Diligence: Ensuring suppliers and partners also comply with relevant laws and standards. Due diligence may now be expected deeper into the supply chain, beyond tier 1.
  • Cybersecurity: Safeguarding sensitive information and systems in an increasingly digital landscape.
  • Labor Laws: Observing fair employment practices and labor standards.
  • Intellectual Property Security: Protecting and respecting patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
  • Export Controls: Complying with international trade laws.
  • Vessel Sanctions Compliance: Ensuring business activities are not conducted with sanctioned vessels or maritime services.
  • Workplace Safety: Implementing standards for a safe working environment.
  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly updating and enhancing compliance measures.
